This agreement and any actions whatsoever taken by you in connection herewith and with any Service, software, tool, application or functionality, will be deemed to have been performed in Nigeria. The parties hereto irrevocably submit and attorn to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of Nigeria.

22. Dispute Resolution

22.1 Informal Negotiations 

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party. 

22.2 Arbitration 

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising under, out of or relating to this contract and any subsequent amendments of this contract, including, without limitation, its formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, as well as non-contractual claims, shall be submitted to mediation in accordance with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Mediation Rules. The place of mediation shall be Lagos, Nigeria. The language to be used in the mediation shall be English.

If, and to the extent that, any such dispute, controversy or claim has not been settled pursuant to the mediation within 60 days of the commencement of the mediation, it shall, upon the filing of a Request for Arbitration by either party, be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the WIPO Expedited Arbitration Rules. Alternatively, if, before the expiration of the said period of 60 days, either party fails to participate or to continue to participate in the mediation, the dispute, controversy or claim shall, upon the filing of a Request for Arbitration by the other party, be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the WIPO Expedited Arbitration Rule.

The arbitral tribunal shall consist of a sole arbitrator. Where parties are unable to agree on the choice of Arbitrator fourteen (14) days after filing a Request for Arbitration, either of the parties may apply to the Lagos Court of Arbitration to appoint a single Arbitrator to resolve the dispute in accordance with the WIPO Expedited Arbitration Rules.

The place of arbitration shall be Lagos, Nigeria. The language to be used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The dispute, controversy or claim referred to arbitration shall be decided in accordance with WIPO Expedited Arbitration Rules and the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The cost of Arbitration shall be borne by the parties.

Irrespective of the foregoing, parties are at liberty to approach the courts empowered with the prerequisite jurisdiction for the purposes of obtaining preservative orders pending the determination of the arbitration.       

22.3 Restrictions 

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. 

 22.4 Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration 

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief

If a provision in this agreement is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
